I'm a NYS resident hoping to become an academic physician, interested in orthopedics. I really value academics and research opportunities. Diversity is big as well. My goal as of right now is to match back into NYC. Tuition cost is not necessarily a factor, but I would appreciate any votes, feedback, or suggestions!


SUNY Upstate

Pros:

  • NYS resident tuition
  • ~1 hour away from family
Cons:
  • Not located in a large city
  • Matches less people into orthopedics
  • Slightly lower match rate
  • More of a focus on rural medicine

Temple University

Pros:

  • Located in a large city
  • Higher match rates for both ortho and NYC placements
  • Slightly more access to research opportunities in the areas I want to study
  • Better at producing academic physicians
Cons:
  • More expensive tuition
  • Farther from family
  • Not the greatest area of the city, but this doesn't really bother me
